Women's ELO Rankings 26/10/2015

This week was the last one before the WTA Finals, which have already started, and for which I did a preview here, but before that, we have 2 tournaments to catch up on, in Luxembourg and Moscow.

The Big Gainer of the week award this week goes to Misaki Doi. She was one of the lowest ranked players to enter the tournament in Luxembourg, and she upset the odds in every single match she played to win the title, beating Andrea Petkovic and Jelena Jankovic among others. Misaki's run to the title gave her 63 ELO rating points and a new ranking of #61, 49 places higher than last week.

This week's Upset player of the week is Timea Bacsinszky. She was also at Luxembourg, where she was the top seed. However, she lost in the 1st round to lucky loser Laura Siegemund. This loss cost Timea 15 ELO rating points, and she fell 1 place in my rankings from #11 to #12.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Svetlana Kuznetsova, Mona Barthel, Darya Kasatkina, Alison Van Uytvanck and Stefanie Vogele.

Now, the the full rankings. New players in my rankings are marked with "NEW" in the ± column.
